The latest Substack connects three domains where law, norms, and market design intersect:
• The organ-donation paradox, where ex-post gifts are celebrated while ex-ante payment remains illegal.
• Feeding America’s adoption of a market with auctions and “shares,” reshaping how donated food is allocated.
• Closing the Repugnant Transactions seminar, dedicated to understanding such ethically charged exchanges.
Together these cases illuminate how societies construct, manage, and contest repugnant markets.
